HOW does it work? Any vids? Reg curl iron: put hair between clamp and barrel, roll hair. Does this work similarly?

Yes you start at the bottom clamp your hair I to the barrell. Then just roll your hair up the barrel. After about 10 Seconds lift up the clamp let your hair go and you can assist with unwinding it or let it do its thing by helping to unwind it. I will tell you if you have shoulder length or shorter hair this is awesome. However my hair is down tO my booty and it's very hard and complicated to do your whole head with this iron. Shorter hair a PLUS!!! I love mine it makes perfect curls and I don't burn myself!

It really does work. I love the her styler it makes my hair feel soft an not brittle like other flat irons. The curling wand is great too I have naturally straight hair and it is hard to keep a curl without using a whole can of hairspray and with her styler wand my curls last all day with only a little hairspray now!!! :) hope this helped!!!

As long as one of the legs of the clip is at the root of the curl, along the hairline, the clip will hold the curl in place. For pin curls placed on top of other curls, ensure the legs are placed through both curls keeping the curl rolled as tight as possible. My hair is very thick and usually do pin curls in sections. Hope that helps.

I also had trouble initially, this is what worked for me... Hold the spring handles between thumb and index finger, the spring itself will work in different configurations; you can roll it almost completely without a curve, I'll call this "straight" it will curve down at the handles where you are gripping them, and using light pressure against the skin roll slowly up twisting the handle with your thumbs in an upward motion while your index finger rolls the handle down. I did not find it necessary to roll back and forth while in contact with your skin, you will, however, find yourself rolling back a little just to reposition your fingers on the handle as you move up the face. I suggest you start with short upwards moves so you can feel the extraction of the hair and this will tell you if you are manipulating the tool accurately. The hair on the face can grow in many directions, so sometimes the spring in a straight form is better and other times a U curve will be more effective, the U curve can be varied to access the area you are working on. Puffing out the cheeks can help as can puffing out the lip area. Don't give up, it DOES work. After you get the hang of it you will find that you can vary the pressure and still pull out unwanted hair.

After rolling your hair into the curler and it's against your head, you push the metal clip onto it. I tend to have the bent portion away from my head, but I really don't think it matters.

Make sure your hair is dry to begin with. Let roller sit on steamer for 10 seconds so it has plenty of steam to get through all the hair. Roll it good and tight. Put the cap on the steamer for a couple seconds to get it hot and then clamp it on the roller. Then your hair is being steamed from both directions. Let it set in the rollers 20-30 min. The longer the better. Once you take the rollers out, put your hair dryer on the lowest setting and on COOL. The cool hair will set the curls so they will last longer. I have thick hair too and the weight of it can pull out the curls. You can also lightly hair spray the curls and use the cool setting on hair dryer to give the curls extra support. I LOVE these curlers. Can be a pain to get in the back side of your head but man the results are so worth it! My hair dresser has me bring my set every time because she loves the results too! It seems like they wouldn't work that well but they really do as long as you don't take them out too soon and you roll them tight. Good luck!

Works with my hair fine. I get bouncy curls and at the last family gathering my cousins commented on how great my hair looked. The key is to have slightly damp hair and to put a little spray or mouse first. Work it in sections, one direction on one side, then turn the dryer to blow the opposite direction on the other side. Works great!

I only bought the flat iron to straighten my hair. However, I tried to curl some strands to be able to answer your question. Although I am not familiar with the technique as I have never in my entire life curled my hair, I can say that with little skill I had, I was able to do some loose curls.

Hi I have straight hair and the curls came out really tight . So maybe you should make it straight before using . Or you can try it your way first if it don't work try it my way . Have a great day

It just depends on what type of curls/waves you want. I have long hair and like looser waves (although you can manipulate your hair with the iron to accommodate either loose or tight curls/waves) so I chose the 1 1/4" barrel, the largest. This size seems the most versatile.

I would suggest warm set rollers and steamer with styling brush to straighten. If you have a cheap jumbo curling iron, the low setting will not melt it. You should be able to touch the barrel with your hand. I would strand test. So far I have only used the electric set of rollers and comb using my fingers not a brush. You can shake it and go.

I hate it i don't use it at all. It doesn't curl, it damages the hair so much. Get the nume instead i heard a lot of good interviews about it or ghd

Natalie,The curling iron is good on naturally curly hair but I wouldn't recommend trying to curl it after being straight because once you put heat to it especially to straighten its really hard to get it to curl much less stay, I find it to work best to wash your hair at night especially if her hair is naturally curly and let it air dry, and that morning spray your hair with hairspray and brush it out and then curl and it should make the curls you want and spray a little more after you curl it. Hope this helps, it works with my hair!!

It is where your fingers go, to open and close the iron. Since it has no spring you have to use your fingers to work the clamping portion. It can be used in the locked position, but if you unlock it, it spins and you can make a curl without spinning the entire tool. It's kinda hard to explain, and if you're not used to using this kind of iron it takes practice. I love it though, and wouldn't trade mine for anything:)

i had the same problem and was not happy with the procedure. there is a youtube video that gives a demo and they used a curling iron that worked for them. i did not like the result and would not recommend this kit.

The actual metal curling barrel is approximately two and a quarter inches long. The metal piece that holds the hair in place on the barrel is 2" long. It is quite tiny. I bought it to curl my bangs only, and it does that well. I think it would be difficult and time-consuming to attempt to do much more than that unless your hair is very short and/or fine. It does get quite hot very quickly. I hope this helps!
